Place a Spot order and read the order book

Choose how your order should trade, then check its actual execution.

1

Choose the market and side

Open Trade → Spot and select the pair. Buy spends the quote asset to receive the base asset; Sell does the reverse. For BTC/USDT, the assets are BTC and USDT. Check the unit next to the size field.

2

Compare Limit and Market

A Limit order sets the highest price you will pay or the lowest price you will accept. It can execute immediately, partly, later or not at all. A Market order seeks available liquidity; its final price can differ from the latest displayed trade.

3

Read liquidity and check the result

The order book shows displayed buy and sell orders at different prices. Recent trades show completed matches. Review price, size, estimated value, fees and balance, submit, then check the order record and fills. Displayed liquidity can change before execution.

Before you continue

A chart touching your price does not prove your full order could execute. Submission and execution are different events.

What to send support
